How long roughly do i need to build my account for?
 

Going to be selling cheapish items to build the account but long roughly do i need to do this before i can start receiving £100-250 payments and not get limited. I have a fully verified uk paypal too. thanks for any help really appreciated.

Hi, if low risk items you can start selling instantly, but otherwise browse on the account for couple weeks and you should be fine. Good luck!

Re: How long roughly do i need to build my account for?
 

Sounds good - as long as the future sales for 100-250 payments aren't too risky (risky item sales I mean)

i appericiate the help. how long should i sell low risk items for before selling high risks for around £250 or less. thank you.

High risks for around 250 or less...you can never be 100% sure when your account can be flagged though, just saying

How long would you recommend i try build it for? Will probs end up selling things for less to be honest. And i'd spread it out between different accounts

Re: How long roughly do i need to build my account for?
 

maybe 3-4 weeks? Try that.

SaiJin has given you a decent timeframe - good idea to have backup accounts

Re: How long roughly do i need to build my account for?
 

Appreciate the help from both of you. If i verify the accounts myself with my own docs will i still need to build it for that same amount of time? thanks

if it's your original account then you can do it 1/2 sooner but still build up the account.

Hi

To receive them sort of payments I would say around 3/4 weeks too. If you fully verify with docs vcc bank etc then around 2/3 weeks should be perfect.

thanks man. really have helped alot. is there a certain amounts of sales ill need to make within them 3-4 weeks of building the account up? cheers

apperciated!

Re: How long roughly do i need to build my account for?
 

I'd do $10-$20 per item 2-5 items a week.

As i tell everyone... ship and deliver your goods. if you do this, paypal will not bother you... if you are one of those who needs to empty every available cent out of paypal you'll be going through hassles.. paypal while it sucks to lose money to them with limitations... they enjoy seeing a safe balance. if you can hold off until 500-700$ in sales and let it "seed" as i call it for awhile, the account will be much more stable long term. I noticed also the other day... throwing 2FA on your account raises the security level of the account. I had an account wanting a 24 hour transfer hold... to literally instantly doing it, just by adding 2FA

Re: How long roughly do i need to build my account for?
 

so no 2FA on paypal.

Thank you vm. And where can i buy the docs to verify the pp? secondeyesolutions is down atm.

Re: How long roughly do i need to build my account for?
 

also will i need to do it all from my computer via ipburger or would i be able to use data on my phone and operate the accounts on phones instead. and if i was to make them on proxies, if i needed to connect my paypal to an app on my phone if i used data would it be okay to just do that to connect it? cheers

2-3-4 weeks. Depends on the feedback you gained. More positive feedback left from buyers, more trust in your account.

After that you can start selling the expensive item. One sold, wait for feedback and relist. Slow and steady. Build the account for longevity. Best of luck!
